We've recently purchased two Go Pro Hero 3 cameras for members to use. These are the famous "most versatile camera in the world" that capture such amazing footage of skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, pretty much whatever you can imagine. We've already tried them out and the footage is amazing. Full 1920x1080 60fps, with a 170° field of view.

The cameras each come with a 32GB micro SD card, a 3 hour battery, and waterproof/airtight housings, so they can be used at no charge to the member. Due to the nature of the camera and how it is used, mounts must be purchased by members from GoPro's website, or any online or brick and mortar store.

New High Definition Cameras To Replace Aging Canon GL-2

We're proud to announce that we have started the process of replacing our
cameras, which have given us great service, but are starting to wear out, and become expensive to repair. For staff, studio, and remote switched prodcutions, we will be purchasing JVC GY-HM600 cameras. These are a brand new product, just relesed in December 2012. We already have three, and are very happy with them.

For members to check out, we will be purchasing Canon XF-100 cameras. These are also excellent cameras, and we think that members will love them. They are HD cameras and shoot to compact flash cards, as opposed to tape. That means no more buying tapes, less power consumption, and less weight. They're very similar to the GL-2 in layout and design, with the added bonus of having two XLR connectors onboard for pro microphones. They will also use the same batteries, wide angle lenses and zoom/focus remotes as the GL-2's, so the learning curve for existing members will be minimal. These should be avaiable to members by early 2014.

Once we've begun the transition to the new Canon cameras, we will also begin the transition frmo Pinnacle editing to Adobe Premiere Elements. The file format that the new cameras shoot in is not compatible with Pinnacle. Self-guided training will be available via computer lessons for members wishing to learn the new editing software.
